Alex Bennée 4025874199 plugins: fix memory leak while parsing options
It was hard to track down this leak as it was an internal allocation
by glib and the backtraces did not give much away. The autofree was
freeing the allocation with g_free() but not taking care of the
individual strings. They should have been freed with g_strfreev()
instead.

Searching the glib source code for the correct string free function
led to:

  G_DEFINE_AUTO_CLEANUP_FREE_FUNC(GStrv, g_strfreev, NULL)

and indeed if you read to the bottom of the documentation page you
will find:

  typedef gchar** GStrv;

  A typedef alias for gchar**. This is mostly useful when used together with g_auto().

So fix up all the g_autofree g_strsplit case that smugly thought they
had de-allocation covered.

Mahmoud Mandour 60753843f6 plugins/hwprofile: adapt to the new plugin arguments scheme
Parsing boolean arguments correctly (e.g. pattern=on or source=false).
Introduced a new "track" argument that takes a [read|write] value. This
substitutes passing read or write to "arg=" that is deprecated.

Also, matches are now taken one by one through the "match" argument.

Aaron Lindsay 787148bf92 plugins: Expose physical addresses instead of device offsets
This allows plugins to query for full virtual-to-physical address
translation for a given `qemu_plugin_hwaddr` and stops exposing the
offset within the device itself. As this change breaks the API,
QEMU_PLUGIN_VERSION is incremented.

Alex Bennée a622d64eea plugins: new hwprofile plugin
This is a plugin intended to help with profiling access to various
bits of system hardware. It only really makes sense for system
emulation.

It takes advantage of the recently exposed helper API that allows us
to see the device name (memory region name) associated with a device.

You can specify arg=read or arg=write to limit the tracking to just
reads or writes (by default it does both).

The pattern option:

  -plugin ./tests/plugin/libhwprofile.so,arg=pattern

will allow you to see the access pattern to devices, eg:

  gic_cpu @ 0xffffffc010040000
    off:00000000, 8, 1, 8, 1
    off:00000000, 4, 1, 4, 1
    off:00000000, 2, 1, 2, 1
    off:00000000, 1, 1, 1, 1

The source option:

  -plugin ./tests/plugin/libhwprofile.so,arg=source

will track the virtual source address of the instruction making the
access:

  pl011 @ 0xffffffc010031000
    pc:ffffffc0104c785c, 1, 4, 0, 0
    pc:ffffffc0104c7898, 1, 4, 0, 0
    pc:ffffffc010512bcc, 2, 1867, 0, 0

You cannot mix source and pattern.

Finally the match option allow you to limit the tracking to just the
devices you care about.
